Don’t Get To Work On Time

Work starts at 0630. I must be at work in uniform by 0630. My shipmates stumble into the shop groggy eyed and disheveled at 0625 every morning.

I get here at 0600, change into my coveralls, then relax. I take a seat and wait for everyone to show up, sip my coffee, think about life, and then chuckle to myself as they start rolling in.

Why do you choose to start your day with stress? Is that extra 15 minutes of sleep really so important?
